Frenchman Wembanyama was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis by the San Antonio Spurs after returning from the NBA all-star game.
Wembanyama's deep vein thrombosis was diagnosed this week after he returned from the NBA all-star game and the condition is usually treated with blood-thinning medication, although more evaluation is needed, according to the Spurs.
NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with a blood clot and deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
Brandon Ingram, now with the Toronto Raptors, had his 2018-19 season end early because of deep vein thrombosis when he was with the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit's Ausar Thompson had a clot issue that saw him miss the end of the 2023-24 season.
Blood clots have affected NBA players in the past, including Hall of Famer Chris Bosh – whose career was cut short after he was diagnosed with blood clots while playing for Miami Heat.
